Is he a FS or SS?
He's a FS who has played CB. I really like him as a safety. I really wanted him back when he was a free agent last time. But he got payed pretty good by the raiders. Him being released this time could be a good indicator that his price tag has dropped. Hopefully we can get him. He would make a great addition. Alot better than sensabum..

I know he's been a favorite around here for awhile. If he is CB turned FS that seems like a good fit, at the right price.

Is Huff really all that and a bag of chips? I would rather draft a young guy and solidify the position for several years, not put a band aid on it and have to address it again in a year or two.

I still think we will draft a safety regardless

He's only 30. Besides, you can't address everything in one offseason. Would you really rather focus on safety over OLine/DLine in the draft?

I think a Huff signing still allows for you to draft a safety. It just may not be in the 1st round this year.

Anyone mind explaining to me why Huff was moved to Corner as opposed to safety? He was probably still their best corner but the move from free safety to corner is a rather odd one. And then he's cut 2 years after signing his deal?

I'm not worried about the D-Line. Especially as much as safety. Offensive line? Most definitely. Defensive line is fine for now.

Sure Defensive line is fine. Ware and Spencer, undersized DE's. Ratliff, declining player who isn't what he use to be. Hatcher, a DE moving to DT. Ya, no worries.

Ratliff may still have good left in the tank. I don't think last season was a clear indicator of what he can still be. He was plagued with injuries and inconsistent playing time.

If they can free up about 8-10 million for the 2013 season, they could easily sign all 3.. Then check in with Laurent Robinson to see how he is feeling after the draft & if things look good there, try and sign him near the vet min.. Those would be 4 solid additions in my opinion. Then if you need room to sign your draft picks, say adios to Doug Free.

I'm not expecting him to be an All-Pro but I don't see how he is "done".

My point is we aren't fine at DL. No worries, all is dandy.

I'm not disagreeing with you on that aspect. Defensive Line is definitely an area of need as well as OL, S as we all know. As long as we improve any of those three areas I am not going to complain much. It is going to take more than a year regardless of what we upgrade. If I had to choose one area on defense, I would say that Safety is more of a concern. Matt Johnson/Barry Church is scary.
